Using this terrific webpage from history-matters, which has the enlargement tool at the bottom:

I did a screen-save, and this was the result:
And it shows something I have never seen before: the head of Lovelady's arrow.
You will see it more clearly with a magnifying glass. It is different than I expected. I imagined it the way I would have drawn it myself: as a left arm and a right arm. But, what it appears to be is a solid triangular shape. It's all filled in. Again: a simple magnifying glass is all you need to see it clearly.
Why did Lovelady draw it so small? It's because he knew that he wasn't giving Joseph Ball what he wanted. He knew there was going to be some major disappointment involved, and he was trying to let Ball down easy. After all, this was a powerful government lawyer, and of course, there were many more powerful people behind him.
Why did Lovelady do it at all, tell the truth? Well, at the time, he simply didn't want to lie. He knew who he was in the photo. And he knew who he wasn't.
But afterwards, he must have been visited by some very intimidating people who made it clear just how much was at stake- just how much he stood to lose if he didn't cooperate. And they probably also told him what he stood to gain if he did.
Look what happened to Lovelady. At the TSBD, he was an order-filler making presumably $1.16/hour, like Oswald. Presumably, he made the same or about the same. He had been there for nearly a year, so maybe he made a little more, but it couldn't have been much more. And the Loveladys were a family of 5.
But, after the assassination, Lovelady moved his family to Denver, where he started his own trucking company. His own trucking company? So, he was buying trucks and hiring drivers and bonding them and paying for an office and secretaries, etc.?
Of course, we know that Lovelady had the misfortune of dying suddenly at age 41 of a fatal heart attack. That was in January 1979, shortly before the HSCA Final Report came out. During the investigation, one of the top lawyers for the HSCA resigned so that he could become Lovelady's lawyer. Now, that is unusual. How many times during a government investigation has a government lawyer resigned so that he could represent a witness? But, that is what happened. And after Lovelady died, this lawyer made a statement that conspiracy theorists killed him. Of course, he did not mean that literally.
But, at the time of her death, Patricia Lovelady had rather vast real estate holdings across the state of Colorado.
So, where did the means come from to acquire all that wealth? What was the basis for Billy Lovelady's rags to riches story?
One thing is for sure: finding the head of Lovelady's arrow is very big. It removes any and all doubt that Lovelady pointed to Black Hole Man to indicate himself in the Altgens photo. And, since this is an either/or situation, he effectively admitted, in graphic demonstration, that Doorman in the Altgens photo was Lee Harvey Oswald.
